CLASS – 8th

Dear Students,

Congratulations for achieving desirable exam

results, you came up with flying colours.

Excellence is not a skill – it is an attitude. I would

like to extend my warmest wishes to you all on

the beginning of the new academic year 2019 –

20. Let it be interesting and exciting for you and

let it bring new knowledge and discoveries, as

well as new challenges.

Education is all about stretching

oneself and trying to do your very best in a

limited time frame to impress examiners. When

the results are declared there is always that

moment of apprehension for students and their

teachers about whether the work put in during

the year, will bear the desired results. I wish to

congratulate all the RPSians who again make

us proud through their achievements. The

performance of the students in academic as well

as co- curricular activities has charged all of us

for the new beginning with enthusiasm.

“JOY OF GIVING”

“ THE BEST WAY TO MULTIPLY YOUR HAPPINESS IS TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS”

To get the full value of joy, you must have someone to share it with. Its not how much we give but how much

love we put into giving. Not only does sharing bring us joy, it teaches us the importance of taking care of

others. When we share things that we have to others, we showcase a sense of humanity and empathy to those

who are in need.

On the other side one can think, why should I give to other? No one gave it to me when I

needed. The answer lies in your sub- conscious mind where the thought is always there that in your life you

received so much from other people – parents, friends, classmates, teachers, relatives, strangers etc.

In student’s life, it is very necessary to learn sharing and caring. In family, sharing happens naturally because

the familial bond implicates a deep sense of connection. This strengthens the bond within the family. But in

school, friend circle and in social group sharing is equally important. When we share our lunch box, our

feeling, our stationary, even good words can make a difference to others and in turn we achieve a sense of

happiness, pride and accomplishment. There is a famous quote ‘The more you give of yourself, the more you

find yourself’.

Sharing is not all about money and other things. Generosity is only one of the aspects. It’s about kindness,

helpfulness, unselfishness, sacrifice, service etc. Even your few polite and good words at your classmates can

cause tremendous effect. So students next time when you have any goodness to you, don’t keep it to yourself,

share it. Because just like smiling, happiness can be transmissible.

*Treat your classmates with respect and care.

*Encourage other and be willing to share.

*Walk tall and proud when in line or about, use your quiet voices rather than shout.
